Hi all
Have been on Arimidex for 2 1/2 years after 2 years on Tamoxifen. Although I’ve put on some weight over the last 4 years, this last few weeks I seem to have ballooned, although OH says its not as bad as I think. Does Arimidex have an accumulative effect? I finish taking it in August/September. Has this happened to anyone else out there?
Love Laraine xx
Hi Laraine, has your weight actually gone up this last few weeks,as of measured on scales I mean. I have been on arimidex for 4+years now and although not put on weight in that time this last 6 months I have got a lot larger/flabbier around torso,but arms legs etc thinner if anything.but I weigh exactly the same on the scales as I always have…I was told that it was Weight re-distribution and that it was in all probability down to the arimidex.Personally,yes I think that arimidex has an accumalative effect on various systems in our bodies.
Thanks Wizardpoo,
That is what has happened to me, weight almost the same but bigger torso except my limbs seem bigger too. Wonder if it will change when we come off Arimidex.
How I hope it does, for the better that is!
